My safety tip based on decades of cycling: think of safety as a game of percentages, like baseball. Stopping in the blind spot of a car is a low percentage maneuver—do it enough times and you’ll get hit. I try to ride in a way that reduces the risk over the long term: picking bike friendly routes, mimimizing travel at night, wearing visible clothing, and generally not surprising motorists.
